BAYLOR, F.C. (Mrs. F.C. (B.) BELGER).
Juan and Juanita.
Houghton. 1.50
This account of the capture of Juan and Juanita by Comanches is
founded on fact. A number of years ago two Mexican children were
discovered by Indians on the other side of the Rio Grande, and carried
away to the Llanos Estacados. After four years of captivity they made
their escape, walking back three hundred miles through a wild country,
and finally reaching their mother. The tale gives an interesting
picture of hacienda life.
BOYESEN, H.H.
The Modern Vikings.
Scribner. 1.25
The author originally related these narratives of life and sport in
the Norseland to his own children.
"For my Vikings love song and saga,
Like their conquering fathers of old;
And these are some of the stories
To the three little tyrants I told."
CRICHTON, F.E. (p. 110)
Peep-in-the-World.
Longmans. 1.25
An altogether charming description of a little girl's happy year spent
with her German uncle in the old family castle. Peep-in-the-World's
friendship with Knut the dwarf, who lives in the forest surrounded by
the animals he loves and cares for, and the founding of an Order of
Knights by the children, are sweet and natural incidents.
